List of useful software

List of useful software

This is the software I like to have on various platforms, and is a work in progress (and so may morph wildly over time according to my personal whims) that I've started mostly for my own use. Recently I used this list in rebuilding my personal workstation after an awful day. Documentation saves (as do backups)!

Linux desktop

My personal workstation and laptop are currently running Linux Mint 22.3 (Zena, based on Ubuntu 24.04), moderately tailored for my own use. Previously, I was on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Desktop. For me, Mint requires considerably less customization to be tolerable, and that made switching to it a lot less painful than it otherwise could have been.

Installation Sources and Methods

I prefer distro packages where available and not too far out of date, then the latest vendor official packages or binaries when I can can find them (except where it would be too disruptive: like when they overwrite critical dependencies). I will turn to vendor AppImages where packages

Zsh: Use `C-x C-e` or `C-x e` to edit current command in $EDITOR with multi-line support. Saving and quitting $EDITOR returns to command prompt with the edited command inserted (but does not execute it until you press enter). Handy!

LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.
